‘Manto’ trailer: Nawazudin Siddiqui as a pre-Independence writer is brilliant

The trailer Nandita Das’s next outing ‘Manto’ starring
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is out and from the trailer, we can conclude that the film
is a masterpiece.

The film is based on the life of
Saadat Hasan Manto, a brilliant pre-Independence and post-Independence writer,
who writes about the society fearlessly and truthfully. His write-ups are reflection
of the society.

There were many who objected his
writings but he was not the one to bend down. ‘Manto’ believes truth has to be spoken
out loudly no matter if it creates unease.

Rishi Kapoor plays the role
of an "irredeemable crooked "tharki" (flirt) film
producer"

Written and directed by Nandita
Das, the film also stars Rasika Dugal and Tahir Bhasin. The film also features
Javed Akhtar, Divya Dutta, Paresh Rawal, Chandan Roy Sanyal and Rajashri
Deshpande amongst others. ‘Manto’ is slated to release on September 21.
